The vis- ible supply of food in the world is becoming so low that drastic steps must be taken to conserve and ap- portion it if suffering is to be avoid- ed in the Allied countries. The ap- pointment of a commission is fore- shadowed, with Mr. Hoover the prob- ahle head. He has shown himself a capable administrator, while his ex- perience in Belgium under German ocrupation has been invaluable. Under his direction the United States has accomplished wonderful results in conserving food supplies at home and in securing and transporting cer eals and food 'that have relieved a serious situation in England. and France, - We in Canada little realize all that this effort has meant to the pegfe of England.

This is but one of many sions of thanks sent to Mr, by British children, Twelve hundred scholars the London County Council school, Gib- bons Road, Harlesden, sat at desks in the open air yesterday and wrote little letters of appreciation of Mr. Hoover's work in helping the Allies to solve the world's food problem. This is' how some of them worded their notes: Rosle Rogers (aged eight) Please thank every one in America for helping us to win the war by cat- ing less food. Ethel Smith (aged four) "Fank U Merika." Doris Young (aged thirteen). President Wilson has 'chosen the most capable man in the world to be its food controller, A boy wrote: 'We Byitish chil- dren think you American men, wo- men and children are just splendid."

Some idea of the popularity of the movement may be gathered from the fact that on Friday morn- ing thirty-five children were wre sent, while on [Tuesday afternoon this number had increased to 225. The rapidly growing attendance al- Corns troducing similar playgrounds other parts of the city. This 'move- ment is delayed only by the lack of sufficient funds to secure the re: quired apparatus and instructors. An appeal is now being made through the press for financial as- sistance. The results so far are en- couraging. but public support must be much more widely manifested to 'tain a como | A Preity Good Prophet.

(Montreal Herald-Telegraph) We have no national highway system where there are good roads they often lead to nowhere in par- ticular, and leave off without order or arrangement. In ome place we see a stretch of concrete; in an- other a dirt track. Some are built of gravel; some of sawdust. Often there are gaps which make motor taraffic impossible. There is bad- ly needed some organization to plan a highway system for this country on. a nationak geale; a systemiwhich will make the locat point of view give way to the national, and give good through highways in all the settled districts of the country.
